Dada at the Movies – October 30, 2018, Bourgie Hall

BOURGIE’S SOUNDTRACK – DADA AT THE MOVIES

Experience a Dadaist evening in Paris in the 1920s!

Guy Livingston recreates the original music of George Antheil, Darius Milhaud, and Erik Satie for silent film by artists such as Man Ray, Picabia, and René Clair, including the latter’s famous Entr’acte. An evening of Dadaist cinema and music as would have been seen and heard during a lively period when Calder rubbed shoulders with these artists.

Projection of films on a large screen.

Bourgie Concert Hall, at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) complex, is a 444-seat venue located in the restored Erskine and American Church (designed in 1894 in Neo-Romanesque style by architect Alexander Cowper Hutchison). Designated a national historic site in 1998, the transformed setting is now graced with high-quality acoustics and an exceptional décor incorporating 20 historic Tiffany stained glass windows. Ideal for performances by chamber-music ensembles, string orchestras, and other groups, Bourgie Concert Hall offer music lovers an auditory repertoire as diverse as the MMFA collections
